Dear fellow compers

Was just wondering if any of you use a hotmail email addy on your comp entries. Have been comping for a while but so far have won nowt lol. Was wondering if it was because I was using a hotmail email addy?

Thanks in advance

I use hotmail and I've won stuff


email addresses really should have nothing to do with whether you win or not, its all luck of the draw!

Aw thanks kipper, will have to find a four leaf clover, lucky heather and anything else I can find that is vaguely lucky!!

My black cat doesn't bring me much luck, prob cus I trip over her as she walks in front of me :rotfl:

Afternoon everyone.

I have a quick question about the itv comps (This morning, Loose Women, Golden balls etc) - I've noticed from the mse winners that they seem to ring you in the afternoon if you have won. If you're not home when they call would the prize then go to another winner? I always put my home phone number, but I'm not in during most afternoons... perhaps I should start using my mobile number instead?

I also use a hotmail address and have won so cant see a problem with them - though do remember to regularly check your junk mail folder for any strays that go in there:D

HI can someone help me, I only started last week but I'd like to know how to put the bits at the bottom of your posts, like £2008 for 2008 member #??? and what you've won? I'm sure it's on here somwhere but don't know where.
I've won a £5 esprit voucher (which I'll never use, but hey-ho) and a data something fitness thing (skipping rope I think) from the office comp.

to do your signiture go to where it says 'user cp' then click on that and then on the left hand column it says edit signiture, then put whatever you want to in the box that appears and save

Ok, don't know if anyone can help me....... I'm due to do the comps ending... list soon and I wanted to know how to set it out so that the link to the comp is actually the title of the competition like this one http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=915421
rather than having the title of the comp and then the link underneath. Can anyone help me out

Thanking you in advance

Copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the title of the competition into your post/word document e.g. Competitions Ending 16/05

Copy the URL e.g. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=915421

then highlight the text "Competitions Ending 16/05" and click the globe (insert link) button in MSE or right click and select insert hyperlink in Word

then paste the URL in the box for the URL/address

and you should get Competitions Ending 16/05

(Hope this helps...a top tip from iwannabeonthebeach is to use Wordpad not Word to avoid getting smilies all over the place, but I haven't worked out how to use it yet )
